Left Justified and Right Justified on same line?

Post by Raymond »

Hello,

I know that tables are not supported (but I am hopeful that they may be later :) ) but what I often use tables for is to have a single line of text be both left justified and right justified.

Something like this:

(left justified) (right justified)
Dear Customer, 12/25/2013

Is there any other way to do this?

Many thanks, I am enjoying using Atlantis WP!!

Hi Raymond,
Note that paragraphs cannot be left or right “justified”. Paragraphs are either left, center, or right “aligned”. They can also be “justified”, which is a special kind of alignment. You’ll find details about paragraph alignment in the Atlantis help at Paragraph Format > Alignment

Now as such, paragraphs cannot be both left and right aligned. It is one or the other.

But there are at least two ways to place some text to the left of a line, and another text to the right of a line.

A. Using a right-aligned tab stop to place new text to the right of the line.
B. Using columns.

Please see the attached documents.

“(left aligned) (right aligned)_1.rtf” uses a right-aligned tab stop to place text to the right of the line.

“(left aligned) (right aligned)_2.rtf” uses 2 columns. The first column hosts a left-aligned paragraph. The second column hosts a right-aligned paragraph.

HTH.
Cheers,
Robert
